SALAD AND SALAD DRESSINGS
For Appeal To The Appetite
Chill ingredients before mixing - except for molded salads.
Provide tartness in the body of salad or dressing.
Use salad greens other than lettuce sometimes. Have you tried
chicory, escarole, endive, kale, spinach, dandelion greens,
romaine, watercress, and Chinese cabbage?
Sprinkle orange, lemon, lime, or pineapple juice on fruits that
may turn dark - apples, peaches, and bananas, for instance.
For tossed green salads, tear greens in fairly large pieces or cut
with scissors. Larger pieces give more body to the salad.
Prevent wilting and sogginess by drying the greens used in
salads, draining canned foods well before adding to salad, using
just enough salad dressing to moisten. For raw vegetable salads,
add dressing at the last minute.

TIPS TO THE CARVER
Convention doesn't forbid your standing up to carve, so, if it's
easier, stand up.
The bones get in your way if you don't know where to expect
them; a little investigation tells you just where they are.
Carving is unduly complicated by a dull knife.
And remember the first rule of carving...
"Cut across the grain"
If you cut with the grain, long meat fibers give a stringy texture to
the slice. Steaks are the exception.

TIPS TO THE HOSTESS
A large roast can be carved more easily after it stands for about
thirty minutes.
When garnishing, don't be overgenerous; leave space for the
work to be done.
Servings cool quickly so plates and platter must be heated.
An inexperienced carver will appreciate a hostess who keeps the
guests' attention diverted from the carving.

HOW TO CARVE TURKEY
1. Remove leg; Hold drumstick firmly, pulling gently away from
body. Cut skin between leg and body. Press leg downward
and cut from body. Separate drumstick, thigh; slice meat from
each piece.
2. Cut into white meat parallel to wing, making a cut deep into
the breast to the body frame, as close to the wing as possible.
3. Slice white meat. Beginning at front starting half way up
breast, cut thin slices of white meat down to the cut. Continue
until enough meat has been carved for first servings. Carve
more as needed.

KITCHEN IDEAS
To preserve leftover egg yolks for future use, place them into a
small bowl and add two tablespoons of salad oil. Then put into
refrigerator. The egg yolks will remain soft and fresh, and egg
yolks kept in this way can be used in many ways.
You may determine the age of an egg by placing it in the bottom
of a bowl of cold water. If it lays on its side, it is strictly fresh. If it
stands at an angle it is at least three days old and ten days old if it
stands on end.
To keep egg yolks from crumbling when slicing hard-cooked eggs,
wet the knife before each cut.
Bread crumbs added to scrambled eggs will improve the flavor
and make larger helpings possible.
A tablespoon of vinegar added to the water when poaching eggs
will help set the whites so they will not spread.
